Introduction

This script allows anyone to run a profitable online raffle website. It is very easy to use for both the user and website owner. With this unique script, you will be able to run as many raffles as you like, profiting from each one.

Your website will be able to grow without advertising due to the script's referral system. Users make 5% of what the people they refer win. This will allow your website to grow as people post their referral links all over the internet.

Another distinguishing quality of this script is that a percentage of the people who enter win, not just 1 or 2 people (you determine the %). Thus, you will plenty of happy winners spreading the word of your website.

The profit potential is huge! As the Admin, you will determine how much of the pot (the money collected from the raffle) goes to the winners. You will keep the rest. Even by giving away a substantial percentage of the pot (such as 90%) you will be able to make hundreds a day, running multiple raffles.
